Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 159

Violet’s P.O.V.

“Aaahhhhhhh… at last…. Exams are over,” Noah yelled aloud while jumping on his feet happily. I smiled while shaking my head lightly and continued walking with Kyle. “But they are starting school soon,” Dustin whined, making me look at him amusingly. Today was our last exam. I was also relieved that I did well in all the exams. I was so tense because of my injury, but I managed to do well. I was glad that I always finished my syllabus with regular classes, and that was why, I was well-prepared for the exams. “It’s good that we can return to school soon or else I have to listen to my mother’s nagging all day about my lazy a**,” Justin whined this time and I was really amused to hear these guys.

“Let’s have a party today,” Noah proposed, still jumping on his feet happily. “Yeah… let’s have a party,” Dustin and Justin also voiced out in excitement. “Okay… where do you want to go?” Ethan asked them in a calm tone. “Not in a hotel or a club… let’s go to Violet’s place and party there,” Dustin proposed, and I knitted my brows in confusion. “Guys… we can’t party at her place. Remember she still has to stay away from loud noise. Our party means loud music and nonstop dancing,” Kyle said to them, and Noah stopped jumping. “O yeah… I forgot that,” Noah replied in disappointment.

“It’s okay, guys… what if I can’t be there with you, huh? You can go there and do whatever you want. I am okay with it,” I immediately comforted him, but he looked at me while pouting lightly. “You are our friend, Violet…. Or should I say… the only girl among us. How can we leave you behind us?” Noah said while wrapping his hand around my shoulder. I peeked at Kyle and pursed my lips immediately to suppress my smile. He was scowling while glaring at Noah. “Hey…. We still have three more days before resuming school. Why not go out for a short trip? After starting school again, we will not have time to have fun again,” Ethan suggested in a cheerful tone.

“Yeah… this will be better… Violet can kill her time with us in this situation,” Dustin also chirped in. “Let’s go hiking,” Justin proposed, but that made me pout. “She can’t go hiking for now,” Kyle said to him while pulling me close to him, but Noah didn’t loosen his grip on my shoulder. “Why are you pulling her, bro? She will lose her balance,” Noah complained while securing me in his embrace. “I am not pulling her,” Kyle immediately retorted, but I knew him best. “Ha… as if I believed you. You clearly pulled her,” Noah immediately fought back. “Noah.. he is just holding my hand. He is not pulling me,” I said this time, defending Kyle, before they started fighting again.

Noah wanted to say something but chose to keep his mouth shut. We all stopped in the last corridor, and Kyle immediately jumped on the wall and sat up. Noah slowly released me from his embrace and leaned on the wall too. Kyle didn’t waste a second and pulled me in his embrace. Now my back was pressed against his chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist and put his chin on my shoulder. “Where do you want to go, Violet? It’s your shot,” Ethan asked me while leaning on the wall on the other side. “Uhhh… I don’t have any idea about the places around our city,” I answered him in a low tone.

Everyone looked at me while knitting their brows. I lowered my head and pursed my lips. “Hey… what about Hawaii…. Winter is approaching, and this is the best time to go there. We have a property there where we can stay,” Noah proposed again, and my eyes lit up. “What do you say?” Ethan asked me again. “She can’t swim with a bandage around her head. She can’t even go near the sea, Ethan,” Kyle grumbled again and this time, I glared at him. “I can’t swim as I don’t know how to swim, but it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my time at the beach,” I said while glaring at him. “She has a point,” Dustin said with a chuckle.

“Do you want to go to a beach?” Kyle asked me in a light tone, and I immediately nodded. I never went out of the city for vacation. It would be the first time that I would go out of the city, and I have heard about Hawaii. “Then Hawaii it is,” Ethan said, and I beamed this time. Kyle chuckled lightly, and kissed my neck. All the boys g*****d, making me blush this time. “Let’s go guys…. I am starving now,” Dustin said while rubbing his belly. “Yeah… I am also hungry,” I also said and at the same time, my stomach grumbled, making me turn crimson red in embarrassment. All the boys laughed at me.

Kyle released me from his embrace and jumped off the wall. He held my hand again and we started walking again. “Will you stay with me in Hawaii?” Kyle asked me in whispers and my heart skipped a beat. “Should I?” I asked him in whispers, teasingly. “Of course… you are my girlfriend after all. Why would I spend a night alone when my girlfriend is there for me?” he replied to me in a raspy voice, making me turn red again. I bit my lower l*p while lowering my eyes shyly. “Don’t do that, love. It tempts me to k**s you,” Kyle whispered in my ear in a husky tone.

“Ouch,” he suddenly winced, making me lift my eyes in concern. “Why did you hit me?” Kyle glared at Ethan and I also looked at Ethan in confusion. “You forget that she is my sister. Don’t go lovey-dovey with her in front of me,” Ethan scolded Kyle, making me sigh internally. What was I going to do with them? “She became your sister later. She is my girlfriend first,” Kyle retorted back again, and I pulled his hand to make him stop saying anything else. “Violet,” Ethan called me angrily, stopping in his tracks, making us stop as well as he was walking ahead of us.

“Which of us will you side in the future if something happens between us?” he asked me in an aggressive tone. I sighed and looked between Kyle and Ethan, who were now looking at me expectantly. I looked around, and now everyone else had an amusing smile on their lips. “Uhhhh… I am sorry, Kyle… but you can’t deny the truth that the relationship between me and Ethan is the one that is going to stay forever like it is right now,” I said to Kyle in an apologetic tone. He widened his eyes in shock. “What do you mean by this, huh? Are you planning to dump in the future?” he immediately asked me in a panicked tone.

“Ha…ha… I told you that my relationship is deeper than yours,” Ethan exclaimed in a cheerful tone and bumped his fist high in the air. I sighed internally again while looking at Kyle helplessly. My heart ached when I saw fear in his eyes. “It’s not like that, Kyle… we have just started dating each other and… and … we are still too young to say what the future is holding for us. We…. We may,” I paused as I didn’t want to jinx our relationship. I was truly hoping in my heart that we would last together till our last breath.

“Yo.. you think th.. that,” he stuttered hard and I took a deep breath. I looked at Ethan and the other boys, indicating that they should leave us now. They got the hint and started walking away from them. They were standing near the exit gate of the school to the parking lot. I took a deep breath and took a step forward towards him, closing the distance between us. I cupped his face, and that was when I realized that he was not breathing. “Breathe, Kyle,” I asked him in a calm tone while looking straight into his eyes. He released the breath that he had been holding until yet, slumping his shoulders down.

“What do you think about my character, Kyle?” I asked him in a calm tone after a few seconds. He looked at me in confusion. I took a deep breath before opening my mouth again. “You know very well that I have trust issues, and that’s why I have never been in a relationship with anyone else before you. You are the first boy with whom I am romantically involved. I want us to stay forever, but we can’t predict our future. I am not saying that we will separate soon but,” I paused when he closed his eyes. I slowly caressed his cheek with the pad of my thumb while looking at him lovingly.

He opened his eyes after some time, and looked calm now. “I get your point, Violet… but we will never talk about this again. No matter what is going on between us, we will always replace a way to reach each other, okay?” he asked me while cupping my face this time. I removed my hands from his cheek and put on his hand on my cheek. I leaned into his touch and closed my eyes. I was really glad that he was serious with me. I smiled when I felt his lips on my forehead. “Let’s go… they are waiting for us,” he said in whispers, and I nodded. He kissed my forehead one more time before removing his hands from my cheeks.

He took my hand once again, and we both started walking again. We were about to reach Ethan’s car when someone called me from behind. I stopped and looked back. Kyle’s grip on my fingers tightened immediately when we saw the person. Sia stopped in front of us but didn’t look at Kyle. Her gaze was fixed on me. “Thanks for the information that you sent me, Violet. You are not supposed to help me, still you did it for me. Thanks once again,” she said to me in a sincere tone with a light smile on her lips despite her painful expression. She was going through a hard time.

“I did nothing, Sia. I am sorry that I was not a big help,” I replied to her apologetically. Her smile became bitter as she got tears in her eyes now. “This may be the last time we are meeting, Violet. I … I got transfer in the other city… away from here. I… I don’t think … tha… that I can stand,” she paused when her voice choked. I immediately removed my hand from Kyle’s grip and walked towards Sia while looking at her with concern. She had lowered her eyes now. “You don’t have to go away from here, Sia. This is the place where you were born and grew up. I agree that you are going through a rough patch in life, but this will pass soon. You shouldn’t lose your hope so quickly,” I tried to comfort her while taking her hands in my mind.

Before I could understand, she pulled me into her embrace and buried her face inside the crook of my neck, taking me off guard. She burst into tears and muffled her cries while pressing her face into my body. I sighed and wrapped my hands around her torso. She was holding me tightly as if I would vanish into thin air if she loosened her grip on me. She never went through the hardships of life and that was why she was not able to take this pressure. I understand her situation now. I let her vent all her sorrows. She cried her heart out for a good few minutes. She slowly released me from her embrace. I also removed my hands from her body.

“Goodbye, Violet… I am really sorry for everything,” she said while sniffing hard. “No hard feelings, Sia,” I said to comfort her. She smiled bitterly again. “Thank you,” she uttered and was about to walk away when I stopped her by grabbing her arm. She looked at me questioningly. “Uhhhh… It’s not like we are friends, Sia, but if you want someone to talk to… you are most welcome,” I said to her in a calm tone. This time a genuine small smile crept on her lips. “I will,” she answered before I released her arm. She took a few long strides toward her car before starting to walk normally again.

I moved towards Kyle, but I felt heavy in my heart. I always wanted her to go away from me, but I never thought that she would have to leave the city one day. She had to leave everything behind her and start everything over. “What is it?” Kyle asked me with concern when I reached them. “She….. She is leaving the city,” I told them. “What?” they exclaimed in unison in a shocking tone, and immediately looked in her direction. We all saw her driving her car away. We looked back at each other after she drove away. “She is not taking the things going on around her very well,” Noah commented in a concerned tone.

“Yeah… The way she cried on Violet’s shoulders… it was obvious,” Ethan said with a sigh. I didn’t say a word but looked in the same direction once again. “Let’s go,” Kyle said to me in a gentle tone. I took a deep breath and headed toward the back seat of Ethan’s car. Kyle hopped on the passenger’s seat while Ethan took the driving seat. I leaned back on the backrest and closed my eyes. “You don’t need to worry for her, Violet.” “It’s not like you two were friends,” Ethan said after some time. I smiled bitterly and opened my eyes. “Yeah.. you are right,” I said with a sigh and looked out of the window.

I didn’t know what to think right now as my mind was completely blank. Ethan was right. She was not my friend, but I still felt bad for her. There was no hope in her mother’s case due to the old one. She not only killed a student at that time but also suppressed the whole matter by using her parents’ connection. The student’s family agreed to press charges against her mother after so many years due to my case. They still had some evidence proving Sia’s mother’s guilt.

I looked down at my phone when it started ringing on my lap. I looked at the screen and narrowed my eyes in confusion. It was an unknown number. “Who is it?” Kyle asked me. “I don’t know… it’s an unknown number,” I told him while picking up the call. “Who is it?” I asked after putting the phone on my ear. There was silence on the other side. I looked at Kyle, who was still looking at me questioningly. “Halo?” I asked the person again after some time. “Violet… it’s me,” the person spoke after a few seconds, and I took my lower l*p in between my teeth while looking at Kyle when I recognized his voice.
